The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Seeing that Xiao Muyu's face was becoming more and more pitiful and a little self-satisfied, Qi Jin didn't know where her complacency came from, but now was a good opportunity to press on and win.

"Xiaoyu, what should I do if he doesn't like me?" Qi Jin lowered his head, his tone full of confusion and hesitation.

WTF?

Xiao Muyu had a big question mark in her little head. There was actually someone who didn't like her cousin. How selfless must that person be?

In terms of appearance, her cousin is the most beautiful man in the capital, even women feel inferior to him. Hehe, it is Mr. Lu who can compare with him.

In terms of talent, Qi Jin is an astonishingly brilliant genius, otherwise he would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince and gain such a good reputation.

However, it seems that Mr. Lu is also a juren who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, so he should be quite talented.

If I were to say that my cousin had one flaw, it was that he wasn't in good health. Ugh, he was prone to early death... Ugh! It was truly outrageous. Even though my cousin was in such a state, she still cursed him in her heart. She was such a despicable person.

As he thought about it, Xiao Muyu's mind couldn't help but go astray. Could it be that after that person saved his cousin, he found that his cousin's health was too poor to be entrusted with his life, so he didn't like his cousin anymore?

"Cousin, have you told her your feelings? Does she already have a lover?"

"Neither, and he...wouldn't want to know that I like him."

That's right, that's the truth! Xiao Muyu was proud of his intelligence in seeing through the essence of things.

"Don't worry, cousin, your beloved cousin is here to protect you!" If cousin's body is cured, it will be easy for him to pursue someone!

It just so happens that Mr. Lu is good at making medicine, so she can take this opportunity to get close to Mr. Lu, hehe (~￣?￣)~.

Qi Jin didn't know what Xiao Muyu was thinking, he only knew that he had achieved his goal.

"Thank you, cousin."

The tone was gentle and melancholy, and Xiao Muyu felt a surge of pride in her heart. She felt that her cousin's life was now on her shoulders, and she would definitely not let him down.

On a short road, Xiao Muyu was tricked by a fox and became lame.

……

Today is the day when the results of the imperial examination are announced, and everyone is gathered in front of the notice, eagerly waiting.

Lu Shi was impatient to squeeze into the crowd, so the nosy monkey system actively took on the task of looking at the list.

After the list was posted, exclamations from the monkey system and the crowd were heard at the same time.

"Host, host, you are number one!"

The crowd was restless.

"Who is this Lu Shi? How could he defeat so many talented people in the capital and take first place?"

"That's right. Even this year's favorites to win the championship, Master Yao and Master Su, were pulled down."

"This Mr. Lu is so amazing."

Besides the joy of having one of their own people on the list, the crowd was also curious about who would be at the top.

Before the exam, all the candidates attended some banquets, and everyone met each other, but Lu Shi was the only one who stayed indoors and concentrated on preparing for the exam during that time, so they didn't know Lu Shi very well.

Lu Shi, who was sitting in the inn, kept smiling when he heard the news from the monkey system.

He had originally thought that his top spot might not be very stable. After all, talent alone was not enough; there was a lot of room for maneuver. For example, the young masters of the Yao and Su families mentioned by the crowd, their talents were not much different from his, and their family backgrounds were impressive. With a little manipulation, it was not impossible.

So it is likely that someone intervened.

Someone is very concerned about him, but why hasn't he come to see him during this period of time?

Soon the man who brought the good news arrived, followed by a group of people who were ready to see his true face.

Facing increasingly scorching gazes, Lu Shi quickly thanked the person who brought the good news, gave him a prize, and sent him away.

But Lu Shi still couldn't escape. He was stopped by a group of people and invited to a party.

Considering that this would become his network in the future, Lu Shi finally agreed. Besides, they hadn't met before the exam, so it would be a bit unreasonable to refuse after the exam.

So they agreed on a time and place before leaving one after another.

After sending the person away, Xiao Muyu showed up.

How could she not grab such a good opportunity to improve her favorability!

Xiao Muyu suddenly rushed in front of Lu Shi and raised the book in his hand.

"Congratulations on winning the first place. This is my gift to you."

"It contains materials from past palace examinations that I asked someone to compile, as well as articles by many famous teachers. It's very useful."

"Thank you, Miss Xiao. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for your concern."

Lu Shi took the thick book with a smile. This book is very useful. This young lady really put her heart into it. It seems that the title of savior is really useful.

Monkey System: Now is the time to praise me.

Lu Shi: That’s great.

Monkey system: (⌒▽⌒).

Lu Shi wanted to build a good relationship with this young lady who had a special status and was someone's cousin, so the two of them had a very good chat.

But as the two of them were chatting, the topic went off track.

"Mr. Lu, you said that a person is not only outstanding in talent and appearance, but also has unparalleled status. But why does the person he likes not like him?"

Lu Shi was not good at dealing with these emotional issues. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe the other person is too good and I feel I am not worthy of him?"

Xiao Muyu suddenly realized that it made some sense, but it didn't quite make sense. His cousin was talking about the woman not wanting to hear him say he liked her. That didn't feel like she was out of inferiority, but more like... resentment that their relationship might change if his cousin expressed his feelings.

She expressed her thoughts, "That person might dislike the other person."

"Why? He killed the entire family of the person he liked. Is this an irreconcilable feud?"

Xiao Muyu was choked and didn't know how to continue, because based on his cousin's upright style of doing things, this was really possible.

If you can’t figure it out, just forget about it and skip the next one.

"Mr. Lu, how do you think we should pursue someone in the situation I described at the beginning?"

Alas, does he seem to know a lot? Not to mention that he is a blockhead, the original owner himself has never been in love, so he doesn't even have a template to refer to.

Racking his brains and looking back at his memories of watching other people in the Little World fall in love, he said cautiously, "Liking someone means giving them things they like and trying to please them."

Anyway, you will never go wrong by catering to someone's preferences. This is simply a panacea answer!

Without waiting for Xiao Muyu to ask again, Lu Shi raised his hand to say goodbye to her. It would be uncomfortable to stay any longer, and among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one.

Xiao Muyu looked at Lu Shi's back in silence for a moment and then stood up. She should go find her cousin. She promised to protect his love, but she hadn't done anything serious in half a month. She couldn't let her cousin think that she was just talking.

So, now she is going to offer advice!

Inside the East Palace, a man and a woman sat opposite each other.

Qi Jin stroked the smooth and delicate teacup with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Did he really say that?"

"It's absolutely true. Even if you think I'm unreliable, cousin, Mr. Lu Shi Lu is the top scorer in the imperial examination. He's also an expert in making medicine. You can't just ignore his advice!"

Well, if it was what he said, then it must be correct. He should think about what to do next.
